5 things we learned from Donald Trump's press conference

For the first time in six months, The Donald got in front of a press pool to take questions from reporters.

The televised conference in New York was dominated by allegations of shady dealings with Russia, following salacious and unverified documents published by Buzzfeed News.

During the hour-long event, the incoming 45th US president called BuzzFeed News a "failing pile of garbage" and refused to take a question from a CNN reporter, saying: "Your organisation's terrible... You are fake news".
